My loop ileostomy output is fine, it’s the output from my rear end that annoys me.

I constantly have to release myself multiple times a day, upwards for 10 times a day. It is liquidy bloody mucus and sometimes it has a bad smell to it. When I am on prednisone, I go 2 maybe 1 time per day and there is no blood. Does anyone else have this issue, and is there anything that can be done to slow or stop me from having to go to the bathroom other than being put on a short round of steroids??

I have asked my gastro doctor and he advised it’s mainly caused by diversion colitis, but I need an answer on how to stop the output.

Thank you in advance.

I dont think there is anyway to stop it coming out , A girl on a you tube video i saw said she gives herself an enema sometimes to get rid of alot of it if she is having alot of it,, maybe you could do that iv never tried doing an enema i dont need too as i dont have much coming out but its normal to have mucus but the blood is not normal must be from colitis i have had blood come out too i have colitis still in the rectum so wasnt suprised but it was only for afew days that was while i was very ill with a bad cold/flu thing an then strangely it went away as soon as my cold went away

Have you tried Canasa or a steroid enema. I didn’t have that problem but my surgeon said that he gives Canasa to his patients who need it
